Abstract
Determination of In-situ stress domain in oilfields is so important for drilling, well
completion and petroleum geomechanics. Simply, determination of magnitude and direction
of In-situ stress around wellbore is the first step of geomechanical studies and wellbore
stability particularly. Preliminarily, because of importance of casing collapse problem in the
Marun oilfield, the magnitude of in-situ stress is determined. The magnitude of vertical stress
(Sv) was in range of 85 to 90 MPa. The minimum horizontal stress (Shmin) determined by
some analytical methods. For estimating of maximum horizontal stress (S Hmax) domain we
used Andersons faulting theory and stress polygon. So the magnitude of SHmax was so close
to Sv and the faulting regime shows normal/strike slip. Within Gachsaran Formation in depth
of collapses because of salty lithology and high pore pressure, magnitude of In-situ stress is
so close and it can be assume hydrostatic stress state.

Keywords: In-situ stress, Casing collapse, Hydrostatic stress state, Gachsaran Formation,
Marun oilfield.
